Thank you all for such a warm welcome! Very nice group of people here.
My first bird was a Yellow Crowned Amazon, Wilma. This little bird stole my heart. Wilma was my beginning to all of this and I am thankful she came into my life. Sadly, she is now gone.
Wilma (The reason I am here)
Next up is Ozzy. Now Ozzy is a character. He is very much a bully and a clown and he is my first U2. Because of his antics of liking to attack me it brought me to mytoos several years ago and that is where I learned exactly what I had gotten myself in to. Here is my boy, Oz
Silly me thought going to a rescue and adopting another U2 would somehow calm Oz down, LOL. So that is how Farfey came to us. She had very little to do with me, if anything at all. It took her 2 yrs to let me hold her and now she is my sidekick! But, she is a little jealous if my attention goes to the others.
Next is Peg. Peg is a rescue. She is missing one foot and several toes on her existing foot. Peg is coming along and is learning to be a bird. She truly thinks she is a dog.
Last of my fids is Bella. She is a cutie pie!!! Love her! Bella came to me because I needed her. My husband is in Iraq (NOT MILITARY) and we have gone through many many changes in the past 4 years. When Wilma died a piece of me went with her and I felt lost without her. With my U2s I really have to watch myself so Oz doesn't hurt me. Wilma was the bird that I could hold, put on my shoulder, kiss on the beak and let her cuddle with the kitty....That was gone for me and my husband is gone also (for now) so I did arrange to get Bella. Please don't judge me for buying a bird....but I really needed to in order to keep going with the rest of my troubled flock. All this work, I wanted a bird I could hold also. Here is Bella.
Now we know it can't end here with the fids! So next up is the rest of my crew!

I am excited about being a part of your community. I love the pics of all the set ups with the birds, it is inspiring me to finish my bird room.
